This separates it from most traditional counterattacks, as the attack is triggered even if Sephiroth is not attacked, in effect making it similar to [[Focus Attack]]. | ||
Unlike most | Unlike most counters, which deal damage based on multiplying the triggering hitbox, Scintilla behaves more akin to [[Charge Shot]], with a linear range of damage between minimum and maximum values. The maximum damage is achieved when the triggering attack deals 18% damage. If the barrier is not hit, the move strikes at below its normal minimum power. | ||
Scintilla cannot counter attacks that deal more than 25% damage; the barrier instead breaks, though Sephiroth will not take damage from the triggering hitbox. He is also vulnerable from behind, and the counterattack itself is a projectile, so there is risk of it being [[absorb]]ed or [[reflect]]ed back. As a result, using Scintilla against moves with both a hitbox and a reflector is very dangerous. | |||
The barrier resembles a reflector, particularly [[Reflect Barrier]], however despite its appearance, it is not a reflector itself. | |||
When using the move, Sephiroth may say {{ja|目障りだ|Mezawari da.}} ("Annoying." or "Pathetic."), {{ja|来い|Koi.}} ("Come."), {{ja|消え去れ|Kiesare.}} ("Disappear."), {{ja|愚かな|Oroka na.}} ("Foolish."), {{ja|いい顔だ|Ii kao da.}} ("I like the look on your face."), {{ja|打ち砕く|Uchikudaku}} ("I will crush you."), {{ja|跪け|Hizamazuke}} ("Kneel.") or simply chuckle. | |||

[https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Scintilla_(Sephiroth_ability) Scintilla] is a technique that originated in the ''Dissidia'' series of fighting games as one of Sephiroth's HP attacks. When triggered, Sephiroth raises a barrier to block attacks, then slashes twice with his sword, the first doing several hits of Bravery damage and the second dealing HP damage. However, depending on their damage priority, certain attacks can break the barrier to stagger Sephiroth, or hit him through it. Unlike in ''Dissidia'', which was limited by the PSP's technical capabilities, the layout of which honeycomb tiles appear is randomized on each use in ''Ultimate''. | [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Scintilla_(Sephiroth_ability) Scintilla] is a technique that originated in the ''Dissidia'' series of fighting games as one of Sephiroth's HP attacks.
